Just take a deep breath.

[Namine is in a scenic room today, just sitting on the mossy ledge and watches as the water crashes onto the rocks below. Her wings are stretched out behind her, just to allow the misty breeze to flow through the feathers. Feel free to sit down and enjoy the serene atmosphere, though she probably won't hear anyone coming in, even if the door to the hallway isn't that far behind her.]

[ooc: Back!]

[He will wander in, thanks. Goodness knows he could use a break from reading so much. He walks in a bit, just glancing around be fore he catches sight of her and that awkward feeling returns.]

[sirenicall]

[She doesn't even register he's there. but look. full access to her wings. perfect time for revenge, Riku.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[The thought didn't even cross his mind. Or maybe it did, since he's getting up behind her and taking a firm hold of one wing.]

[sirenicall]

[Lets out a startled, pained noise and tenses up. Though she doesn't even have to turn to know who it is.]

Hi, Riku.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[But now he's not sure what to do with the wings that he's caught. So he just sighs and lets go again.]

Enjoying the view?

[sirenicall]

[Ruffles her feathers a bit and nods.]

It's nice.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...It is nice.

[Plops down next to her. She better not try and shove him off the edge :|]

[sirenicall]

[She's considering it, but even if she did, she'd catch him c: Glances at him as he sits down.]

You look a bit worn, what have you been up to?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Reading. Again.

[sighs]

Nothing interesting to you though.

[sirenicall]

Oh, I don't know about that. There's lots of interesting things to read about... go ahead- tell me what you were reading about.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Mental and psychological illnesses and the treatments thereof.

[sirenicall]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Thinking about checking into a psych ward?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Gives a short, curt laugh.]

I doubt there's anything like that in here. But there are drugs for that sort of thing.

[sirenicall]

Drugs? Tsk. You don't want to get back into those again, do you?

[Shrugs a bit, leaning back on her hands.]

There are better cures, I'm sure.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Prescription drugs. Specifically antipsychotics and antidepressants.

[You're just imagining the annoyed tone in his voice, really.]

[sirenicall]

[Gives him a look.]

Uh-huh. And if there isn't a psych ward, what makes you think you're going to find a pharmacy?

What's your self-diagnosis, anyways?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Maybe not a pharmacy, but a pharmaceutical supply room maybe.

...Schizoid Personality Disorder accompanied by Major Depressive Disorder.

[blinkblink]

... I'm a siren, not a scholar. Simple words, please.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.]

The symptoms of SPD are basically preferring to work alone, have few friends, and enjoying few activities. And MDD is the technical term for severe depression.

[sirenicall]

[Thinks about it a bit, then nods.]

Seems to fit. But--

[Stands and stretches a bit.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

But?

[Of course it fits. Dr. Riku is never wrong.]

[sirenicall]

Well... I don't think you need to go as far as drugs to fix it. I think a simple distraction would do.

[Said distraction is stroking your wings now.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm reading all the t--

[Gasps quietly. He's never going to get used to that sensation.]

[sirenicall]

[Considering how often she does it, you'd think he would. But she's not aiming for that at the moment, and her hands trail down and then back up his back to massage his shoulder muscles.]

That kind of defeats the point, though, doesn't it? I mean, if reading is all you do, wouldn't that be included in the 'few activities'?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Again, once he's sure she's not going to go poking around that spot, he relaxes.]

That's the idea, yes. There's not a lot else I really enjoy.
